Hello everyone. I apologize in advance for the, 'me me' post but I was hoping for some advise about my color and you ladies and gents are the best experts.
I'm tired of coloring my hair because of the damage and the upkeep. I love the copper, but doing my color every month or so is getting really old. I've been coloring most of the last 12 years and I'm ready for something softer & more natural.
I last colored 2 months ago and the length is quite faded. Depending on the light it looks dusty beige, dull copper, or warm bleach blonde. And it does my coloring no favors. I have about an inch of dark ash blond/light ash brown hair growing in.
I'm thinking about dyeing the length with a dark blonde permanent dye(ammonia free) so that I can get it close to natural and let it grow out in peace. I did a strand test and it looks great. But I'm worried.
I've worked hard to get my hair healthy again (and sacrificed so much length doing it.) I'm hoping that you all have advise on ways to minimize the damage. Also I need confirmation that my color looks bad enough to warrant the risk, and I'm not just fixating. Pics are in my albumhttp://http://photobucket.com/sarahkay_3
I've done my own color for many years & never hesitated because it was super short and I'd just trim any damaged ends before they showed. But now it's different because I'm growing my hair long.
